How it all started ?
Everything started when Rowling's train from Manchester to London was delayed and the most darling characters of her creation, Harry Potter, Ronald Weasley and Hermoine Granger striked her imagination. A short time later, she kept igniting her imagination of the mystical universe of wizards and witches of Hogwarts.
She was taking a shot at her novel, and she was living with her mom in Manchester at that time. Everything was running easily until something very depressing striked Rowling for the very first time.
When she was 25, her mom passed away in the year 1991. The passing of her mom crushed her totally.
This had occurred after half a year when she started writing 'Harry Potter'.
What haunted her was her mom never knew that she was writing novels.
This is why Harry Potter needed to suffer the loss of his parents because in real life,Rowling too suffered the loss of her mother.
Her married life?
After her mom's downfall, she moved to Portugal for some change and started teaching English as a foreign language. In 1992, she fell for a Portugal TV journalist named Jorge Arantes.
Soon after, they had a girl child together. She was named Jessica. Be that as it may, Rowling's marriage didn't last long, and following 13 months, she got separated with Arantes and moved to Edinburgh, with her newborn girl child along with the initial three parts of Harry Potter.
At the end of 1993, life ended up harder for her. She was a single parent living in a welfare, and poverty hit her with no long lasting work.
She went through horrible phases of depressions that she even thought about suicide. At that time, her love and affection for her girl child helped her to accomplish her fantasies & kept her away from taking her own life.
The evil characters like the dementors who feed upon the bliss of others, were a portrayal of the downturn and the vacancy that rowling went through.
